Demi Moore’s Relationship History: Past Marriages, Romances, and Why She’s No Longer Focused on Dating
Throughout her decades-long career, Demi Moore has had her share of high-profile relationships, from her early marriage at 18 to her years with Bruce Willis and Ashton Kutcher. While she has been in the public eye since her General Hospital debut in 1982, her personal life—including her three marriages and other notable romances—has always drawn significant attention.
Moore was married to Bruce Willis from 1987 to 2000, with whom she shares three daughters, and later to Ashton Kutcher from 2005 to 2013. However, in recent years, she has taken a step back from dating. Her last public relationship ended in 2022, and in a 2024 interview with The Guardian, Moore shared that romance is no longer a priority. “It’s not about not being interested in dating,” she explained. “It’s more about realizing that I’m now in a place that’s much more about choice rather than feeling there’s any kind of lack.”
Here’s a look back at Demi Moore’s most significant relationships:
Freddy Moore (1981–1985)
At just 18 years old, Moore married musician Freddy Moore in 1981. During their marriage, they co-wrote the song It’s Not a Rumour, which Freddy recorded with his band The Nu Kats. Moore even appeared in the song’s music video at 17. Despite their creative collaboration, their marriage ended in 1985. However, Demi kept Freddy’s last name, which she continues to use professionally. Freddy Moore passed away in 2022 at the age of 72.
Jon Cryer (1984)
Moore had a brief romance with Pretty in Pink star Jon Cryer while filming No Small Affair in 1984. In her 2019 memoir Inside Out, she revealed that while their characters were falling in love on screen, Cryer also “fell for [her] in real life.”
At the time, Moore was struggling with addiction, something Cryer later admitted he wasn’t initially aware of. Despite their short-lived relationship, he has spoken highly of Moore, describing her as a mix of “vulnerability, toughness, and beauty.”
Emilio Estevez (1985–1987)
Moore’s relationship with actor Emilio Estevez was one of her most publicized early romances. The two, who had known each other before filming St. Elmo’s Fire, got engaged after just six months of dating.
Moore later revealed in her memoir that she was drawn to Estevez’s family, including his father, Martin Sheen, and brother, Charlie Sheen, as they represented the kind of stability she lacked growing up. However, she ultimately postponed their wedding after discovering Estevez had cheated on her with an ex-girlfriend. Despite their breakup, the two remained friends and later worked together on the 2006 film Bobby.
Bruce Willis (1987–2000)
Moore married Bruce Willis in 1987, and together they became one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples. They welcomed three daughters—Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah—before divorcing in 2000. Though their marriage ended, they maintained a strong friendship and co-parented their children amicably.
Ashton Kutcher (2005–2013)
In 2005, Moore surprised fans when she married actor Ashton Kutcher, who was 15 years younger. Their relationship was highly publicized, but after eight years of marriage, they divorced in 2013.
Recent Years: A Shift in Perspective
Following her last public relationship, which ended in 2022, Moore has focused on personal growth rather than romantic pursuits. She has expressed that she no longer sees relationships as something necessary to complete her life. Instead, she embraces the freedom of choice, prioritizing her well-being and career over dating.
From young love to high-profile marriages, Demi Moore’s journey in love has been eventful. However, as she enters this new chapter of life, she’s embracing independence and the power of self-contentment.
